Today, my mom was feeling down, so I decided to buy her a gift. Knowing she likes lighthouses, I bought her a tiny one that plugs in and lights up. I brought it home, plugged it in, and when she saw me with it, she said, "Wipe that smirk off your face and get that junk out of here." FML

Today, my mom lit a candle in our living room, telling the family how much she loved it. She then went on the tell us that my dad got it for her and it must have been some cheap candle. I bought the candle as a gift for her on her birthday. FML

Today, it was my mom's birthday. I decided to get her a Willow Tree statue of a woman fairy holding a heart. After dinner, I presented my gift. My mother asked me how much it was. I replied, $30. She threw me a dirty look, shoved the present in my direction, and told me to return it. FML
Today, I asked my mom why the lamp in the living room wasn’t working. She immediately plugged it in, it worked, and she called me a complete idiot. I haven’t slept in a week. FML
Today, my mom and I were talking about a wedding decoration that we are going to use at my wedding. I insisted that I gave the decorations to her and I didn’t bother looking in my house.

Today, my mother brought over some early Christmas presents for me and the kids. The kid's presents were fine, mine however consisted of many yard accessories, including solar lights. I live in an apartment building with no yard. Her response? "Buy a potted plant and shove them in there." FML
Today, my mom and I went to Best Buy for some Christmas shopping. She picked up some presents for me and told me not to look at what she was buying. When we got to the register, she didn't have enough money, and I ended up having to buy my own presents. FML

Either that or 64 has an absolutely terrible life... That being said, if it is bs, then it must be pretty bad to resort to seeking attention through fake FMLs.

When I commented earlier it had a different user name. Now it says noor haha. I just thought that was kinda weird.

Is sad how those who are closest to us have the power to devastate us! I love my Mum to death, but she'll be the death of me. At a certain age we need to see a negative person in our life for what she/he is, even if its our own Mothers. Negativity is toxic. Pull away a little Noor and maybe she will realize how cruel she is being. Life's too hard to have a toxic Mother. :)

It did have a different user name. It was "junk house". I think they changed it, because my earlier comment was deleted.

WTF? Just stay away from her. Why'd even bother with an asshole like that?
zandalee 20
Umm. Because it is her Mother...

Because she's her mom... Would you avoid your mom forever because she was in a bad mood one day?

Maybe she didn't realize it was a lighthouse. Explain it is a gift for her and she'll likely change her tune.
